A slick and sexy R&B soul man for the '90s, Chicagoan Robert Kelly has what it takes to become the Marvin Gaye of a new generation. Kelly introduced his jeep beats and bedroom grooves in 1992, but he showed that he was really a player with the 1993 follow-up, 12 Play, which claimed the number one spot on the R&B charts for several months, and which had folks such as Michael Jackson calling up anxious to collaborate with him in the wake of his

well-publicized scandals. (For that matter, Robert wasn't immune to tawdry headlines himself, leaving fans wondering if he had been romantically involved with his under-age protégé, Aaliyah.) The rap on Kelly's first two discs was that he was just another horny guy on the make, but he showed his musical roots in gospel and hinted lyrically at a deep and complicated spirituality with his self-titled third album. It indicates that after three platinum albums, he's still just warming up. This Biography was written by Jim Derogatis
